GB/T 41933-2022 Plastics—Determination of tension-tension fatigue crack propagation—Linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFM) approach
Basic Information
Scope
This document describes a method for measuring crack propagation by applying a tensile load that periodically changes between a constant positive minimum and a constant positive maximum to a notched specimen.
This document is applicable to the determination of the functional relationship between crack length and the number of load cycles, as well as the functional relationship between the rate of crack length increase and the stress intensity factor and energy release rate at the crack tip.
Note 1: Detect and report possible discontinuities in crack propagation.
This document is also applicable to the determination of a material's resistance to crack growth.
Note 2: The results are expressed as the relationship between the number of load cycles or total time leading to crack growth failure and the stress intensity factor. See Appendix A.
This document is applicable to the determination of tensile fatigue crack propagation using the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) method for the following materials:
—— Rigid and semi-rigid thermoplastic molding, extrusion materials (including filled and short fiber-reinforced composites) and sheet materials;
—— Rigid and semi-rigid thermosetting materials (including filled and short fiber-reinforced compounds) and sheet materials.
This document is only applicable to materials with very limited viscoelasticity within the applied loading frequency and expected test duration.
